FBI SEEKS SOURCES OF FUNDS SENT TO OSWALD

DALLAS, Nov. 30 - FBI agents today were tracking down the source of 
occasional small sums Lee Harvey Oswald apparently received.
   The Western Union office in Dallas said FBI agents asked about telegram 
money orders to the accused assassin.  A spokesman, A. I. English, said the 
FBI was told it could not get such information without court orders.  
He refused to say whether Oswald had received money by wire.
   The Dallas Times Herald said it learned Oswald received sums ranging up 
to $10 or possibly $20 at a time for SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ASSASSINATION
and his own slaying at the hands of Jack Ruby.
   The paper said Oswald sent a telegram himself a few days before President 
Kennedy was shot. 
   Western Union employees remembered him because he invariably argued with 
them, the paper said.  They didn't say what the telegram concerned.

   Meanwhile, the New York papers said the FBI was checking a report that 
Oswald in later years was a close friend of an extreme right-winger, a 
Mississippian who lived at one time in New York City's Greenwich Village.
   The FBI refused to confirm or deny a report, but several villagers 
confirmed that agents had questioned them in an effort to learn the 
whereabouts of the rightist.
   Village sources said the man, whose name was not disclosed, had created 
disturbances at liberal meetings in the Village.
   The sources could not confirm a report that the FBI was acting on a tip 
by an informant that he, Oswald and the Mississippian had served together 
in the Marines.
   The FBI, in Dallas yesterday, re-enacted the assassination, again running 
a motorcade past the Texas School Book Depository Building, from where the 
sniper fired the three shots.  The Secret Service restaged it Wednesday.
